In this episode, Rich and Pip discuss vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. They critique a recent paper that has shown that VITT has been around before vaccines against Covid-19. Importantly, they discuss which patients should be tested for spontaneous VITT- and HIT-like syndromes, and discuss a recent case.
The paper is: Schönborn L. et al. Anti-PF4 immunothrombosis without proximate heparin or adenovirus vector vaccine exposure. Blood. 2023 Dec 28;142(26):2305-2314.

#15 Healthcare policy, polatuzumab, and VITT with Eddie Cliff
Eddie Cliff is an Australian haematology registrar with academic interests in health policy, lymphoid malignancies, and public health. He is currently at Harvard doing a fellowship with PORTAL (Program on Regulation, Therapeutics and Law), to help advocate for lower prices for drugs and make them more accessible.
In this podcast we talk about healthcare funding, health policy, clinical trials, polatuzumab, and the implications of VITT on the future of adenoviral vector vaccines.
